Actor Michael Ealy has been highly sought after in movies and tv for many years. And in one of the rare instances he had to turn down a role, it was for none other than Queen Bey herself.
Michael appeared on the E! show ‘Busy Tonight’ to promote his new film, ‘The Intruder’ and revealed that he was first tapped to star in the music video for Beyonce’s iconic breakup anthem, “Irreplaceable,” but had to pass…for an understandable reason.
“I said no originally… I said no to ‘Irreplaceable’”, Ealy said. “I didn’t want to be the guy who she said, ‘To the left, to the left’ to. Who wants to be that guy? It’s like the worst thing ever,” he explained.
And lucky for him, Beyonce gave him another shot and tapped him for ‘Halo,’ to which he obliged. “Then they called back again when they did ‘Halo,’ and I was like, ‘Let me hear the song.’ I heard the song, and I was like, ‘I can do that, for sure.'”
Michael even shared with show host, Busy Philipps, how the experience felt working so closely with Mrs. Knowles-Carter. “It’s as amazing as people think it is. And she sings to you. She would lip sync, and every now and again I [would] hear her actually sing, and I would be like, ‘Oh my gosh! Focus! Act, Michael. Act!'”
So, if you got asked to do a Beyonce visual, would you turn her down?
